Pros
Ramp’s OpenAI Responses + Anthropic-compatible gateway at api.router.com — auto-routes to a cheaper model that still clears your quality bar, with failover; claimed ~40% cost cut vs going direct; routing free through 2026 at provider list price; $26 free credits to start; optional BYOK for select providers (default is Ramp-held keys).
Cons
US-only at launch; Chat Completions (`/v1/chat/completions`) 404s — Responses API only, so many coding-agent clients need a rewrite; Router stores inputs/outputs/metadata to improve the service unless you opt out; routing fee after 2026 is unpublished; not OpenRouter.
